STRIKE STRUM AND BLOW FESTIVAL

                                  STRIKE STRUM AND BLOW FESTIVAL

Strike strum and blow was held at the horncastle arena. There were about 1000 other kids there from schools around the West Coast and Canterbury. The instruments were ukuleles, flutes, marimbas, drums and a brass band, there were also people singing.

The ukuleles played songs like something in the water, July, Star Wars, Cape Reinga, Do what you wanna, Budapest, te aroha and big aroha. We practiced for 6 hours during the day. Then we performed for (7:00 - 8:15pm) 1 hour and 15 minutes. There were a lot of people in the audience.

Before the performance I was so excited I was hopping up and down, but I was also nervous at the same time. After the performance I felt lots of emotions like excitement, enthusiasm, joy and exhaustion. It was an amazing experience!
